The V-22 is extremely susceptible to engine failure from ingestion of particulates. Deserts have sand = particulates. Yes, I speculate. But there is a reason some Marines call the V-22 the Marine Killer. I know this first-hand from former Marine who told me of this.

The V-tail Bonanza was known as the Doctor Killer.

Your comment reminds me of when I worked at McDonnell Douglas in Mesa AZ at the Apache plant. When Apaches were first put into service for Operation Desert Storm, the damage of blowing sand to the leading edge of the rotors was unpredicted and caused the need for rapid replacement of those rotors. However, I don't recall ever hearing the sand caused damage to the engines, even though it sounds plausible.

This is really beginning to be a crisis. Just yesterday [6-9-22] another Osprey crashed in the same general area.. According to what I am reading, both Ospreys were based at Camp Pendleton. I thought they may have been based at Miramar since I see them fly over my house several times a day on the way to Miramar. Rest in peace to those who lost their lives, and condolences to their families.

So many variables in play including the more demanding flight profiles required for military training. But it's so easy for the non-aviation public to see it as an airframe issue.

It looks like us tax payers supported lots of R&D for this POS. How many young, brave, dead Marines now? 50?

The civilian tilt-rotor is dead. Even if a company could get insurance on one, no one would want to ride in it. There are simply too many better options.

With nearly 4,000 hours in helicopters, the Osprey was one I would have refused to fly.

Leave the military flying to the Air Force. If it weren’t for the marines the F35 would’ve been activated years earlier. Yep, they insisted on VTOL and the F35 program quickly turned into what you know it as today.

The only reason this was posted is because the article contained both the words “crash” and “Boeing.”

Military needs drive innovation. In this case though, seems as though there will be little crossover to civilian.

My country also has a plane crash today. What's wrong with today's aviation

It’s the same as it’s been for the last several decades. It’s generally very safe, but it’s very unforgiving of lack of training, lack of adherence to SOPs, or lack of maintenance. In the case of vertical flight and flight near the edge of the performance envelope, it’s also very unforgiving of mechanical failure, especially at low altitude.

cross-shaft gearbox is a failure point in many of these accidents. Lack of maintenance as you mentioned.

Yes , exactly. So for those multiple reasons , et.al., please decommission the entire fleet in my view. I can assure you the Japanese also will be very happy .

The phrase " very safe " seems to be an oxymoron in this description above .

Nothing. Step back and let the data speak. Flying has never been safer.
